1. What does he have? PIP would be nice I think it's a timex. Black.
2. How much does it cost ballpark? Oh, about $20 or $30.
3. How often does he wear it/them? He wears it every day. Until it dies because he's smacked it into something, or sweated thru the bad so badly it smells, or he loses it. Then we get him a new one. This is why he gets a cheap watch.
Omega Constellation with white dial- wears it for special occasions Tag Heuer Kirium with black dial- wears it on weekends or for social events Guess Brown leather watch- simple $75 watch that he wears to work Emporio Armani black leather watch- $175 watch that he wears to work
Watch shopping is tough. There are so many different brands and styles.
MH has a Kenneth Cole that his parents gave him for high school graduation. That was in 2001, so IDK what the style is or how much it cost (I would bet $200 or less), but it looks similar to this: tinyurl.com/axvy8ml
He wears it for occasions where he's dressed up (ranging from a sweater to a suit to our wedding), and occasionally he wears it to work.
I think he's had a couple cheapo watches over the years but nothing he really loved.
In college I wore a watch that I bought from a NYC street vendor for $5, since I needed to know what time to get to class. I think it was actually the Olsen Twins brand, lmao. I stopped wearing a watch once I got a cell phone.
1. What does he have? PIP would be nice - fair warning. He's a nerd.
Casio Men's PAW1100T-7V Pathfinder Altimeter and Barometer Solar Atomic Digital Watch
2. How much does it cost ballpark? ~$350 3. How often does he wear it/them? everyday/everywhere, except when he's running. He now has a Garmin for that.

Poljot "Navigator"
Russian brand, they made watches for some of the first space missions. Lots of DH's pilot buddies have those watches, so that's how we first heard of the brand.
Seiko Kinetic and Citizen EcoDrive. About $300 each. I want to get him a nice Tag or Omega so I can get one too but we'll live with the Seikos and Citizens.
Breitling Superocean, very similiar to the pic Mavjen posted I got it through a friend who is a dealer for Breitling. I bought it for his 40th Birthday, was able to save close to $1k, but it normally retails for about $3k.
He has a Movado that he bought himself as a college graduation gift. I don't know how much it costs, although I get the sense that it was pretty expensive. He wears it about half the time to work (alternating with another kind - not sure of the brand) and always during special occasions.
He has several watches but this is the one he wears almost everyday since I gave it to him as an engagement gift AND it's his first Rolex. This one is about $5500 I think.
He's also got a 2 toned Rolex with 18k gold and blue face and bezel instead of black that cost more, an IWC around $5k I think, and a Bell and Ross that he wants to sell for about $4300 but no one likes that ugly thing. At this point he'll take as little as $2500 for it just to get rid of it. He has one more watch but I can't remember what it is.
